Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 60 The Tragedy of the Weak
"Nefeli?"

asked the knight.

The first time I heard who the owner of the voice was, the female warrior turned around in surprise.

Sure enough it was him.

After getting off Torret and sending back the spirit horse, Li Lin walked to the side of the hillside.

The female warrior's face had calmed down at this moment, and she stood on the spot and nodded to him, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Long time no see, why are you here?" Li Lin asked.

"I heard the news that this village was attacked by villains, so I came to have a look."

Nefeli said.

Standing under the hillside and looking up, there is indeed a village located in this mountain.

But the light above was dim, and there was even a faint smell of blood.

"I will go with you."

Walking side by side with the female warrior holding a double ax again, they walked up the hillside, and the two came to a village called "Platinum Village".

Walking into the entrance of the village, Li Lin saw another horrible scene.

The corpses of the villagers were all over the place. Judging from the appearance of the corpses, they were all civilians with little combat power. Those who had almost no resistance were slaughtered.

Judging by the color of the blood on the ground, they should have been killed not long ago.

Nefeli took a deep breath.

Looking around, there was no trace of living people here, so the female warrior started to move first, and continued to walk into the village.

Li Lin also followed in silence.

"What do you think?"

"Regarding the tragedy of this village..."

Walking among the corpses all over the ground, Neferi asked Li Lin without turning her head.

"Although angry, this kind of scene is not uncommon in this world."

Li Lin said in a deep voice.

"Yeah... I saw the same scene when I was young."

Nefeli said as she walked: "The weak are ravaged, plundered, and killed..."

"It's also a scene of purgatory on earth."

Li Lin couldn't help but think of the mountain of corpses in Moen City.

Is this what the weak deserve?
It shouldn't be like this.

"But I'm not the young kid I was then."

As he continued to go deeper and observed the freshness of the corpses around him, Li Lin had a hunch that the murderer who massacred the village was still here.

"Although it's too late, let me come and take revenge."

Her tone became firm, "For those who are violent, let them know that I, Neferi Lu, am a fighter."

As soon as the words fell, the two saw a guy wearing a feather made of the fur of a black unknown creature standing not far from the road ahead.

He also turned his head at this time, seeing the two people coming, he stretched his hand into Haori without hesitation, and then waved a black and white unknown powder towards Li Lin and Neferi.

The two immediately jumped left and right.

The black and white powder ignited violently in the air, setting off a large canopy of flames.

gunpowder?

Li Lin smelled a strange smell in the air at this moment, and immediately held his breath.

A knight holding a curved blade and a warrior holding a double ax rushed out from both sides of the flame, charging towards the perfumer.

The enemy held a knife in his right hand and blocked the female warrior's axe.

Then, he was decapitated by a curved blade and a sword.

"He is not the mastermind of Tucun."

Said the female soldier.

Li Lin nodded. Most of the villagers were killed by heavy weapons such as giant swords or big sticks, and a few were burned to death by flames.

Continuing to walk into the village, Nefeli frowned suddenly, and slashed at a large can not far away with an axe.

"Uh!"

The big pot suddenly flashed a little bit of golden light and disappeared, and an old man fell to the ground in panic.

"Don't...stop it."

He hunched over, stretched out his left hand to block in front of him, and asked in a flustered tone.

"I don't know anything..." the old man explained, "I'm not going to hide anything."

"please stop……"

Nefeli retracted the axe.

Seeing that no further attacks were coming, the old man withdrew his left hand that was blocking his body.

Only then did he take a good look at the two people in front of him.

This is a one-on-one combination of a man and a woman. The woman's skin is a healthy color slightly darker than wheat, and the exposed body has streamlined muscle lines, which are beautiful but not exaggerated.

Her face is slightly delicate, and it matches the somewhat wild animal skin clothing, which has a somewhat contrasting beauty.

The man is a knight wearing gorgeous silver heavy armor and holding a curved blade. He has fair skin and a handsome appearance.

There was a touch of tenderness on his calm face, and he was half a head taller than the woman beside him.

"Isn't it him? Thank God..." the old man muttered.

He coughed a few times, and continued: "Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Elpas, as you can see, I am the son of Platinum."

Son of Platinum?

It sounds like a lot of power, but you...

Out of politeness, Li Lin didn't interrupt the old man.

"We and this village are going to perish."

"Those hateful curse bearers have ruined everything, and there are no sane people left."

"Please, can you take away the talisman? This thing cannot be taken away by those curse bearers."

Perhaps because of their looks, the old man seemed to trust them and made a sincere request.

While saying this, the old man took out a white semicircular talisman and handed it to Li Lin.

"what is this?"

"For our Platinum Son, there is a Peach Blossom Spring, and this is the key to that place."

"We can no longer travel, and that is too important a treasure for us."

While talking, the old man stuffed the talisman directly into Li Lin's hand.

"Also, if you meet a girl named Letina, a son of Platinum, please pass this talisman to her."

"Please, Letina will definitely need a talisman to complete her mission."

Seeing the begging expression of the old man, Li Lin accepted the talisman and asked, "Where is that girl?"

"……I have no idea."

"..."

One or two are like this.

The old man sighed and continued: "My feet are about to disappear, and my life is about to come to an end. This is an unavoidable chronic illness as a son of Platinum. Fader, please help that girl."

"...I will try to find her." Looking at the old man who was not far from death, Li Lin finally agreed to his request.

The Platinum Son named Elpas lowered his head in satisfaction, erh, leaned against the wall, and fell asleep.

"..." After confirming that the old man was not dead but just asleep, Li Lin turned his head.

The female warrior has continued to walk towards the village.

Put the white talisman into the fourth-dimensional chrysanthemum, and Li Lin followed.

There are no traces of living people in the village. Along the way, apart from a few dead who turned into living corpses, there are only some corpse dogs with corrupt bodies.

Not far from a burning fire, the two saw a tall man wearing a strange mask standing on the edge of a cliff with his back turned to them and looking into the distance.

Aware of the arrival of Li Lin and the two behind him, the man turned around.
